Looking for a change from corporate life? We’re working with one of the only privately owned emergency hospitals in Nova Scotia, based in the Halifax area. With a strong reputation, high clinical standards, and a collaborative team culture, this is an ideal role for an experienced ECC vet seeking autonomy, variety, and progression.

The Role:
You'll be part of a large emergency team (10+ doctors), supported by a skilled group of RVTs and dedicated support staff. The caseload is busy and varied, offering excellent exposure across soft tissue, trauma, and critical care cases. Clinical growth is genuinely supported here – with the opportunity to pursue ECC certification and even leadership roles, including a Deputy Medical Director position for those with a leadership mindset.

What’s on Offer:

  • Competitive salary (commensurate with experience)
  • Signing bonus & relocation assistance
  • Option for equity/shareholding in the future
  • Health and dental benefits
  • CPD allowance and certification support
  • Flexible scheduling options
  • Supportive and experienced clinical leadership
  • A genuine work-life balance in a scenic coastal city

Ideal Candidate:

  • DVM (or equivalent) with eligibility for licensure in Nova Scotia
  • ECC experience preferred (but confident GP vets with a passion for emergency also encouraged to apply)
  • Calm under pressure, collaborative, and passionate about high-quality care
  • Interested in growing within a supportive and forward-thinking team

If you’re ready to join an independently owned hospital where your voice matters and your ECC skills can truly grow—this is the place.
